I don't play video games, but the trailer looks offensive enough. I really hate to see folks push for censorship on stuff like this.
Can you change the character's appearance, as in other games? Maybe different sex, different gender, uniform, wife beater+shorts? Perhaps change the location of the carnage to better reflect the personality of the player? (shopping mall, school, after-hours nightclub parking lot)

Wow. Do you guys think this will spur more violent incidents like school, mall, theater shootings? Wonder if it will have a zombie mode.

I do think violent shows, movies, games ect affect young and moldable minds. It desensitizes people to violence. It's been studied for over a decade now, and it's scientifically proven. The military and even law enforcement use violent video games to train people to shoot other people. Parent's should really be paying attention to the rating system. I've seen enough dead bodys in real life that it just doesn't seen fun to kill people in video games. I don't even like to watch CSI/BONES due to the smell of dead bodys I get every time I see one on tv.

I don't play video games but I find it offensive and wouldn't allow it in my house. I don't think its normal or healthy to want to do anything that simulates hurting people. Gross to me.

if they can make movies about such things, why can't they make games about such things.....? certainly it is in bad taste, and will likely flop(or have a very small following), but you never know.

My wife does not like even GTA so I have always tried to be the cool dad and help my kid find games to play that she would approve of. The problem is the next door neighbor kid, his dad is a single dad who went thru a nasty divorce so he spoils the kid and basically has no filter so the boys play whatever they want over there. I know Ive got a good kid who is intelligent and has a good head on his shoulder with a career in boxing ahead of him if he plays his cards right, but with this kind of stuff bombarding their still forming minds it makes ya wonder how they can not be affected by this stuff.
